Blue Bombers receivers share the spotlight in balanced aerial attack

Blue Bombers receivers share the spotlight in balanced aerial attack

Joshua Frey-Sam 6 minute read Yesterday at 6:14 PM CDT

Tim White knew exactly what he was getting into.

So when the former Hamilton Tiger-Cats receiver inked a one-year deal in the off-season to catch passes for a Winnipeg Blue Bombers team that already has a perennial 1,000-yard producer in Nic Demski, a one-time NFL-hopeful in Ontaria (Pokey) Wilson, and later, a highly respected safety blanket in Tommy Nield, there were no concerns about where White would fit and whether he would see enough volume in the passing attack.

Oddly enough, the club’s depth made it even more compelling for him to sign on the dotted line, and he hasn’t regretted it for a second.

“That was the major reason why I came here. And I felt like this was the best offer for me because of the pieces that were already in the room,” said White. “The leadership that was in the room, and then me being able to step in and just kind of add to it. For who I am, I felt like that would be a great fit.”

Alberta-based UFA Co-op preps first cardlock, fuel hub in Manitoba

Gabrielle Piche 4 minute read Yesterday at 8:20 PM CDT

An Alberta-based co-op plans to open its first Manitoba gas station later this year.

UFA Co-operative Ltd. has circled Portage la Prairie for a cardlock and bulk petroleum site. Meanwhile, it’s analyzing the keystone province for future locations.

“There is more to come,” Fred Thun, UFA president, said Wednesday.

The co-op counts at least 121 petroleum stations across Alberta and Saskatchewan and 125,000 member-owners. It already ships fuel to bulk customers in Manitoba.

Judge doesn’t buy remorse, sentences man to 5 years for attack on 83-year-old woman

Dean Pritchard 4 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 PM CDT

A mentally ill Winnipeg man who randomly attacked an 83-year-old woman on the street and was on the verge of beating her with her walker when passersby intervened has been sentenced to five years in prison.

“The victim’s age and the fact that she was using a walker made her exceptionally vulnerable, and that vulnerability would have been obvious to anyone who saw her,” provincial court Judge Michelle Bright said at a sentencing hearing Wednesday for 28-year-old Justin Getty.

“One can only imagine the potential outcome had the accused been allowed to continue the assault unimpeded.”

Getty, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and is addicted to meth, pleaded guilty last winter to aggravated assault for the February 2025 attack on Victoria Comeau.
